Anyway, I'm still looking forward to the release of the Spark. It should add some mainstream to the A-segment (meaning it's not a super small Scion iQ or Smart ForTwo).

This "dub speak" did, however, remind me of this clip (a little NSFW language). Maybe they're talking about the Spark?

You can read the full press release below.

DETROIT – The Chevrolet Spark, a mini-car currently sold in
100 markets worldwide, will debut in the U.S. later this year with new
features specifically targeted to appeal to the urban millennial
market.

“We listened to what young people said they wanted in a car. Our
engineers tuned and equipped the Chevrolet Spark specifically for
first-time buyers and city dwellers in North America,” said Chris Perry,
vice president of Chevrolet Global Marketing. “Spark is the perfect
urban car because we’ve made it easy to drive, easy to park and easy to
own.”
To tackle the challenges of urban driving environments, several Spark
features are tailored to North American consumers, including:

Giving the Spark the ability to conquer steep inclines and declines
with Hill Start Assist and equipping the Spark with a sixth sense with
Panic Brake Assist – both standard on Spark and new to the mini-car
segment in North America.

Hill Start Assist aids drivers in cities known for hilly terrain –
such as San Francisco – by holding the vehicle in place while the driver
switches from the brake pedal to the gas.

Squeezing Spark into the tightest of parking spaces with a length of
only 144 inches and 63 inches wide, which is 37 inches shorter and 8
inches narrower than the Chevy Cruze.

Connecting Spark owners to their friends, music, videos and photos
with a radio that features a seven-inch diagonal color touch screen
equipped with the Chevrolet MyLink infotainment system, which provides
users with access to Pandora and Stitcher, Bluetooth and navigation.
MyLink also makes it possible to connect a smartphone or other USB
device to play movies, display pictures and download contacts for
hands-free calling, allowing for a full in-vehicle media experience.

Packing extra horsepower under the hood with modifications to the
engine displacement and enhancements to the ride and handling, giving
the Spark more power and better handling at higher speeds.

Hooking up the Spark with 15-inch dubs, making it the only vehicle
in the segment to come standard with alloy wheels and increasing its
performance and style street cred.

Giving the Spark a facelift with a deeper grille and restyled fog lamps for a sportier, more aggressive style.

The Spark will arrive in Chevrolet showrooms later this year. For more information, please visit www.chevrolet.com/spark.
